We booked through Marriott Bonvoy and were assigned by them to a Viator-operated tour, called "Look at Egypt." The tour guide from Look at Egypt" was supposed to meet us at 8 am at our hotel in Luxor, and did not bother to show until noon. No communication. Then the female tour guide in Luxor who purported to be an Egyptologist, did not have any command of the Greek/Roman/Byzantine portion of Egyptian history--which is more than 900 years. She could not even answer simple questions like "in what century was this built?" Her English was also horrible. She also failed to heed time, and got us back to our cruise ship late, so we missed it and had to meet it further down the line at another dock. In Aswan, we had another tour guide. We asked him to organize a car for us to Abu Simbel. He said he did, but he did not.
